I can't claim to know the stands of Clinton, Schumer, Kennedy, Feinstein, et al, regarding gun control. I do know that I think your assumption that they wish to pry the guns from your hands is based on 9 parts rhetorical paranoia for every one part factual evidence.
If you really mean it when you say

we have laws prohibiting the possession of grenades, explosives, automatic weapons, etc. and I see no politicians taking issue with it.

then I would suggest you have your vision checked immediately. Every single piece of gun control legislation is under constant attack by the NRA and like shills for the gun manufacturers. While my use of an RPG as an example was admitedly absurd, it's a minor step down to clips for fully automatic weapons - and the fight over maintaining restrictions on those things is very public.
Your claim that you don't understand what the significance of my posting the distance between Burbia, GA and Washington DC is suprising. Guns you've got tucked away in your bedroom or your bunker are the lifeblood of theives who cart them anywhere in the country and sell them on the black market. Guns purchased legally at Bubba's guns and books in Podunk, AR (every purchase includes a free copy of
The Turner Diaries!) end up in robberies in California, murders in Maine, and very possibly soon to an alQaida cell in ????.
So while the attempts to put a local spin on the question of gun control makes sense in a nostalgic sort of way, considering that Madawaska, Maine to San Ysidro, California is a couple of days by car, it just don't make no sense.
